Clark Kent and his classmates take a tour of Curio Castle. An exhibit in the castle contains famous hairpieces of history. A legend surrounding the exhibit states that by touching the hairpieces, a person takes on the characteristics of the original owner.
When lightning strikes the castle Clark must use his super strength to save everyone. He uses the excuse that he touched the Samson hairpiece to explain his strength. The entire town soon learns of Clark's newfound strength. They harass him with endless requests for help. In order to return to his weakling disguise, Clark pretends to touch the hairpiece of a known coward. He then leaves the super strength feats to his alter ego, Superboy.
